Based off of Mazda’s ‘Kodo’ design, soul of motion, the Mazda Shinari is a collective effort among its design studios in Japan, Europe and the U.S. This style of ‘Kodo’ is clearly and evidently etched into every part of the car. From the interior, which was designed in California, the Shinari is clean and futuristic. This sleek car is definitely an important car for Mazda.
Who is the genius behind this car?
Ikuo Maeda, Mazda's global head of design. Maeda was the chief designer of the RX-8 and the Mazda2 and has been with the company for nearly 30 years. His father, Matasaburo Maeda, headed the design of the first generation RX-7 back in the 1970s.
Autoblog.com calls the Shinari " Unlike other pie-in-the-sky concepts, the Sinari is a smart, well executed styling exercise that should be a solid design platform for future models." Even stating this car will put the highly praised KIA Genesis Coupe in the dark... its hard not to agree.
Since this is very recent, there hasn't been much to talk about besides its highly attractive looks. No engine specs to find... simply a four-door concept. But don't get me wrong, the looks definitely gives a buy-me-now! personality.
I'll update as soon as receive more information!
